Ok, strictly fantasyland with that price tag but do I love this and wouldn't it look great on you with your hair and figure...

I like both of those last two. The second one is nice in red too!

InTheseBeautifulPurpleShoes · 16/08/2009 18:42

Oooh like the purple one too, you might need to be careful that the purples are okay together

MuppetsMuggle · 16/08/2009 18:47

So which dress do we think ladies?

OP posts:
MuppetsMuggle · 16/08/2009 19:02

I will also need something for the hair, I'm loving the purple dress and think either the purple shoes or purple wedges will go with the dress what do you think?

Last purple dress great.

Shoes - wedges.

I would say lavender or tan.

(Apparently if you wear tan shoes they 'blend into' your legs and give the illusion of longer legs!)

MadameCastafiore · 16/08/2009 19:33

The asymmetric one will make you look preggers!!

ARe you only 26 - as it says on your profile?

Most of the dresses that have been linked to would suit someone at least 15 years older!!

Purple is a colour mothers of the brides wear to weddings not trendy young 26 year olds who want to look fab infront of their X!

If I saw you at a wedding wearing something so mainstream and just pahish I would probably have a smug little grin to myself if I were your X's new partner!

You want something young and fresh and exciting!

What about this All Saints

or this

MC I agree with some of what you are saying.

I love the second dress you linked to, however money is the issue!

OP posts:
MuppetsMuggle · 16/08/2009 19:38

Ilovethis

Would this make me look fab with a nice pair of wedges and cool accessories

MadameCastafiore · 16/08/2009 19:38

Good - I am glad I am making you see sense, you cannot go looking middle aged!

How much do you have to spend?

MuppetsMuggle · 16/08/2009 19:42

about £70 inc shoes.

am in need of much help I don't want my DP to see the dress either so I can look like a bombshell beauty to both of them hehe

Love that although I only have a small chest 32b/c so doubt I would fill it lol

OP posts:
MadameCastafiore · 16/08/2009 19:54

how about this ASOS

With very very red lips and red shoes and bag or just black bag and shoes and red lips?? You can get good value shoes in New Look or Primark I am lead to believe or you may even have enough in your budget for Next - they have some nice satin ones that would go with this dress.

I very regularly wear black to weddings - I am not one of these middle aged pastel coloured wearing women and hope to god never to be!!

MuppetsMuggle · 16/08/2009 19:54

I should say i'm a size 6-8

OP posts:
MadameCastafiore · 16/08/2009 19:57

Right - got to go now - look at ASOS.com - look in their clearance section and put a size 8 into the filter and it will show you loads.

You can wear strapless or very thin straps better than us large chested ladies - you still look thin and elegant - we just look chesty - and not in the hoarse kinda way

MadameCastafiore · 16/08/2009 20:00

Or this

Really have to go now - but I implore you do not turn into a middle aged x girlfreind - grow some balls wear something outlandish or just out there and blow his socks off - his new woman is probably a pastel coloured lady!!!
